Egosoft Interactive FAQ

The old X-series consists of 6 different games. All games have individual plot lines and can be played independently. There is an overall story arc which started with X: Beyond the Frontier, but knowledge of that is not needed to play a new game.

In case you want to play all the games in series, the chronological order is as follows:1) X: Beyond the Frontier
2) X-Tension
3) X2: The Threat
4) X3: Reunion
5) X3: Terran Conflict
6) X3: Albion Prelude
While lore-wise playing in the same universe, during a later time, the latest X-game X Rebirth has a storyline independent of the previous games. The same is true for the currently developed X4: Foundations.
